Magic Stat Ball is a free Windows application designed to help NFL fantasy football and non-fanstasy NFL football fans alike evaluate individual players and teams. Through the use customizable statistical categories, the user can break down stats from a given regular NFL season in a variety of ways.

The statistical viewing options include the following:

• Home or Road Games Only
  
• Versus above or below .500 teams
  
• On grass surfaces
  
• On artificial turf
  
• Division or Non-Division Games
  
• Domed Stadiums or Non-Domed Stadiums
  
• Weekly statistical break down
  

Player or team comparisons can be performed using statistical categories selected by the user. By displaying the percentage by which a team or player has an advantage in each of the chosen categories, the user can begin making a judgement about which player or team has the overall advantage. It should be noted that this comparison method is not designed to replace the judgment of a fantasy football player regarding which player or defense to start. Instead, it attempts to provide a quick way of helping fantasy football players make informed decisions.

A fully customizable, weighted power rankings system provides a more objective alternative to rigid formula based ranking systems. The power ranking system uses statistical categories such as defense rushing and passing yards allowed, offense rushing and passing yards gained, give-away-take-aways, team record, and opposing teams combined records. The user can change the weight setting for each of the selected categories, which impacts where the teams that perform well in the categories with higher weight settings are ranked. MagicStatBall by default supports the scoring method of the largest fantasy football leagues online. Of course, the fantasy point settings can be changed to support other leagues.
